Step 2: Developing Your Customized Quote
After our discovery call, our team gets to work creating a comprehensive quote tailored specifically to your church. Most of our pew projects are priced based on total linear feet, but we consider every detail that makes your sanctuary unique.
Our In-House Team Advantage
Unlike many contractors who subcontract work, your quote will reflect services performed entirely by our expert in-house team. This approach ensures:
- Consistent quality throughout your project
- Better cost control and timeline management
- Accountability from start to finish
Best-In-Class Vendors
For quality materials, new pews, and special considerations, we work with carefully selected vendors and partners we’ve trusted for over 15 years. These relationships allow us to provide comprehensive solutions while maintaining our quality standards.
Step 3: Quote Review and Refinement
You can expect to receive your detailed quote within just a few days of our initial call. We’re happy to work with you to refine our proposal and adjust our offerings to best meet your needs.
We understand that many churches come to us at the earliest stage of their renovation projects. We’ll remain in touch and are committed to working with you on a proposal that works for you – on your timeline.
